A failed or missing dock shelter leaves your loading bay open to draughts, rain, dust and lost heat, while your team works in the cold and your energy bill climbs. A dock shelter closes the gap between the trailer and the building, so every load happens under cover.
We manufacture, supply and install dock shelters across the UK, matched to your bay and your vehicle mix. Static, retractable, inflatable, foam pad and curtain shelters, each built to seal tight, take the knocks of daily loading and hold your bay at temperature.
Fitted around your operation
You cannot shut a bay that is moving stock all day, so we don't ask you to. We fit around your shift pattern and keep your bays running. At a Waitrose distribution centre handling more than 600 vehicle movements a day, we installed new bay equipment without losing operational time. Because we manufacture in the UK, we control the lead time and give you a firm fit date.
It comes down to your vehicles and what you store:
Mixed fleet or varying trailer heights - an inflatable shelter seals around each vehicle.
Cold store, freezer or temperature-controlled - inflatable, for the tightest seal.
Frequent impacts from reversing HGVs - a retractable shelter that absorbs the hit.
A dedicated fleet of similar vehicles - a foam pad seal or cushion shelter.
Tell us your bay and your vehicles on a free survey and we will tell you which fits, including when a repair beats a replacement.
A dock shelter seals the gap between a parked trailer and the building at a loading bay, keeping out weather, dust and pests and holding the bay at temperature while goods are loaded and unloaded.
A dock seal uses compressible foam pads that the vehicle presses against, best for vehicles of a similar size. A dock shelter uses a frame with curtains or inflatable cushions that flex to fit a wider range of vehicles. Seals suit dedicated fleets, shelters suit mixed fleets.
It depends on your vehicle mix and what you store. Inflatable for the tightest seal and cold storage, retractable where impacts are frequent, foam pad for dedicated fleets, curtain for varied fleets on a lower budget. A free site survey settles it.
Cost depends on the type, the size of the bay and whether it is a like-for-like replacement or a new installation. Tell us your bay and we will give you a firm figure you can take to your budget holder.
You need the height and width of the door opening and the typical trailer height. Rather than risk ordering the wrong size, we measure on a free site survey and recommend the right type and dimensions.
Yes. We replace worn or damaged shelters of any make, repair where it makes sense, and back every shelter with service and 24/7 callout when a bay cannot wait.
Every gap at the bay is heat leaving the building and cold air or contaminants coming in. A tight dock shelter holds your bay at temperature through every load, protects the cold chain in food and pharma operations, and cuts the energy you lose at the door.
Paired with our dock levellers and loading bay accessories, your bay seals, loads and stays safe from one supplier.
We have manufactured, supplied and installed specialist doors and dock equipment across the UK since 1986, from single-bay units to national distribution centres.
Book a free survey and we will tell you what your bay actually needs, including when a repair beats a replacement. No pushing a bigger system than the job calls for.
Our own engineers install across the UK and back every shelter with service and repair, including 24/7 callout when a bay cannot wait.
Operators from Waitrose to Audi and McLaren trust Arrow with their loading and access equipment, fitted around live operations without lost time.
